Marissa Mayer to Take 'Limited Time Away' for Maternity Leave

Yahoo! president and CEO, Marissa Mayer, is giving birth to twins in December, but her decision to take "limited time away" has raised a few eyebrows.

In a blog post, Mayer wrote, "I plan to approach the pregnancy and delivery as I did with my son three years ago, taking limited time away and working throughout." When Macallister was born, Mayer took only a week or two of maternity leave.

In her pregnancy announcement, Mayer noted that the twins are expected to come around the same time as a unique time in Yahoo!'s history, when it will spin itself off of Alibaba (one of its most lucrative assets) and head into corporate restructuring. We have a feeling that her private nursery in her office suite may come in handy during that time.

What do you think? Is Mayer sending a wrong message to mothers in the tech industry, or is she simply doing her job as president and CEO of a multi-billion dollar company? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
